Porcupine Tree
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008
Porcupine Tree is a 21 year old experimental rock band from Hertforshire, England.
The band started in 1987 as a colaborative proyect between Steven Wilson & Malcolm Stocks who inspired in bands as Pink Floyd wich predominated the music scene during their youth, they created this band where everything from its members to it´s history was fictitious, as Wilson started earning money to own he´s own recording studio he started thinking of comercializing his proyects music and recorded an 80 minutes cassette named “Tarquin´s Seaweed Farm” Under the name of Porcupine Tree. As a way to continue with his joke, Wilson added an 8 page booklet wich contained invented info of the bands story and fictitous members such as Sir Tarquin Underspoon.

Over the years the band style has shifted from psichedelyc pop or sweet accustic balads to heavy metal , all mixed up with an incredible sence of taste making every song very diferent to the other and as a plus in their live shows they use a couple of screens in the background showing werid trippy images that perfectly dance to the rithm of the tree.
